What causes breast bloody discharge beside cancer or intraductal papilloma. Not sure if it was blood or a red?

---

spot cause no blood came off my fingers. What tests are used to diagnose this and I did go to a doctor- thanks The ultrasound showed nothing.
I found a very informative website that you should take a look at. Some of the information that I found is below.

Extremely watery or bloody breast discharge (or rust or amber colored breast discharge), and greenish -brown or black colored discharge may be indicative of abnormal breast tissue, inflammation of the breast tissue (mastitis), intraductal papilloma (a tiny, non-cancerous tumor in the milk duct), or breast cancer. Breast cancer is more common in women over 50 who are experiencing this type of discharge. Usually this condition only occurs in one breast at a time, and presents a higher risk of cancer or Paget's Disease if it is only coming from one duct in the nipple, and not all of them. However, it is important to bear in mind that a woman at any age can get Breast Cancer.

Hope this helps!  (+ info)

Have you or someone you've known been diagnosed with Intraductal papilloma, carcinoma in situ or breast cancer?

---

Was it found with a lump or did it begin with nipple bleeding? Please share your(or the person you know) experience with discovering it, any misdiagnosis and any thing else. Also if you were considered "young" and what stage it was discovered at and anything else.
Intraductal cancers are always stage 0. Papillary breast cancers are rare. I have never seen one misdiagnosed. They are found the same way any other breast cancer is found. I have never had it myself so I can’t answer your other questions.  (+ info)

Have you or someone you have known been diagnosed wilth "intraductal papilloma" or "cacinoma in situ"?

---

Stories please. How it was discovered, at what point and was there a misdiagnosis involved? Anything you can share will be great. Please no links to sites stating facts. I just want personal experiences.
No, I have not been diagnosed with or known of someone that was diagnosed with intraductal papilloma or carcinoma in situ.

However, I do have the link to a site that may help you find more information. The link is at: http://forums.obgyn.net/womens-health  (+ info)

Intraductal Papilloma info?

---

I need some information from anyone that has ever had or has intraductal papilloma? Or if you know anything about it please give me feedback! As we are hoping this is what my mother has as opposed to anything else.
Based on the research I did it says its a small benign tumor that grows in the milk duct of the breast. Here's the link to the search I did that may help you find even more information:

Question about intraductal papilloma?

---

I went to my endocrinologist today for a brownish nipple discharge. He did not feel a lump but thinks that its intraductal papilloma. He said he can see no other reason for the discharge.
I have read that the only treatment for this is surgery, however, I am unsure how they could remove it when it can't even be felt. Also, can the discharge itself be tested for cancerous cells? My Dr tried to take a slide today but he couldn't get enough.
Any idea's?
Thanks Denise, I am waiting the call from the Breast Center with the day and time of my appt.
They would use radiological guidance. Even with sold tumors they do not rely on feeling the tumor usually a clip or needle is inserted into the tumor before surgery to make easier to find and to help insure good margins. However, this cannot be done in your situation. You should be scheduled for a mammogram, a breast MRI and an appointment with a breast surgeon. Ask them how many of these surgeries they have done and have them explain how they will do it. Then get at least one other opinion.  (+ info)

Anyone with breast experience diagnosed with intraductal papilloma with mild hyperplasia? Surgery necessary?

---

After initial mammogram because of khaki green discharge, I went through an stereotactic biopsy. Results are great! Not cancer or even precancerous, but every medical person is recommending complete removal of the intraductal papilloma with mild hyperplasia. Anyone been through this? Is surgery necessary? Have one Dr. telling me to just follow, but hear horror stories of women who 'put it off'.

Will surgery just start this process that leads to even more surgeries or is that just inevitable?
Intraductal papilloma is a small, noncancerous (benign) tumor that grows in a milk duct of the breast

Intraductal papilloma occurs most often in women ages 35 - 55. The causes and risk factors are unknown.

Intraductal papilloma is the most common cause of spontaneous nipple discharge from a single duct.

The health care professional might feel a small lump beneath the nipple, but this lump cannot always be felt (palpable). A mammogram often does not show papillomas. Ultrasound may be helpful.

Other tests include:

A breast biopsy to rule out cancer
An examination of the discharge to see if the cells are cancerous (malignant)
An x-ray with contrast dye injected into the affected duct (ductogram)

The involved duct is surgically removed and the cells are checked for cancer (biopsy).

The outcome is excellent for people with one tumor. People with many tumors, or who get them at an early age may have an increased risk of developing cancer, particularly if they have a family history of cancer or there are abnormal cells in the biopsy.

Complications of surgery can include bleeding, infection, and anesthesia risks. If the biopsy shows cancer, you may need further surgery.

Call your health care provider if you notice any breast discharge or a breast lump.

There is no known way to prevent intraductal papilloma. Breast self-examination and screening mammograms can help detect the disease early.  (+ info)

Intraductal papilloma...People with experience please!?

---

I am so frustrated! So, my breast dr and two radiologists think I have a papilloma. However, it cant be located through mammo, u/s or mri. Well, One u/s showed I have a growth in my duct but a location was not given. I was told that things that cause bloody nipple discharge do not just go away so whatever I experienced is still happening. Dr's are not brushing me off but I know my husband is annoyed with my bringing this up. I want it gone, out of my body! We were going to do a ductogram but not knowing which duct or even which quadrant makes this something that isnt going to happen. At least not yet. I dont know where to go from here. What I should do or ask for.
First go to this site:
www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001238.htm
It will give you the best info in every day english on exactly WHAT intraductal papilloma is and the treatments.
I know this is scary and not pleasant but PLEASE try to keep in mind that they are almost ALWAYS non cancerous.
Good luck!  (+ info)

Surgery choices for Intraductal Papilloma?

---

I know what it is. My mamogram was 'good' today. My surgeon appt is next week. If the mamo was 'good' then I take that as they can't see the problem. If they can't see the problem does that mean a needle biopsy is out of the question? I am trying to read up on this as much as possible as far a percentages, frequencies, etc. Also I was checking the stereotactic biopsy info online and it refers to a interventional radiologist playing a role. Do these professionals work with a surgical group?
A needle biopsy is done either on an area you can feel (a lump) or an abnormal area seen on an ultrasound or mammogram. Are you in this situation? I am assuming you have bloody nipple discharge, if you are concerned about an intraductal papilloma.

A stereotactic breast biopsy is a needle core biopsy which uses x-ray guidance and is done by a radiologist, either in a free-standing imaging center or a hospital's radiology department. A stereo is done on an abnormal area SEEN on a mammogram. A needle core biopsy can be done, using ultrasound guidance, on an abnormal area SEEN on an ultrasound. These biopsies are done on specialized machines that most general surgeons do not have access to or training on. The tissue we get during this procedure is evaluated by a pathologist.

Also a ductogram is done using the mammography machine and performed by the radiologist. A ductogram is helpful if a intraductal papilloma is suspected.   (+ info)

What happens when you miss your 2nd human papilloma virus shot?

---

I know that you have to get the human papilloma virus shot 3 times....the 1st one is on the first visit to the doctor, the 2nd is in 2 months after that, and the third is 6 months after that....so what happens when you miss your 2nd one?
If you wait too long, then you will have to start it over. But if not just push back the date of the third.  (+ info)
